ZooKeys 664: A Revision of the Oriental Species of Bolitogyrus Chevrolat (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Staphylininae)

About this book

The Oriental species of the relictual rove beetle genus Bolitogyrus are revised based on 200 specimens. Fifty valid Oriental species are diagnosed herein, two species are synonymized, one is transferred from Quedius to Bolitogyrus, and nineteen are described as new to science. Several species are named in recognition of conservation efforts to protect tropical primary forests in Asia that are important to the survival of many Bolitogyrus species. All available bionomic and distributional data for Oriental Bolitogyrus are summarized, and an identification key is provided.
